The OrdinaryAHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Advanced Exfoliating Peel for Brighter Skin

I’ve been using this for over 4 years and repurchase it every single time I run out—it’s that good. I used to swear by Babyfacial by Drunk Elephant, but after trying this, I never went back. It gives me the same smooth, glowy, clarified skin without the crazy price tag. The formula is powerful (you can feel the tingle working), but it’s never been harsh on my skin as long as I follow the instructions. It’s a bit thinner than Babyfacial, but just as effective—maybe even more so. My skin always feels baby-soft after rinsing, and over time it’s made a huge difference in texture and brightness. Honestly, this stuff is magic in a bottle and such a skincare staple for me!

This stuff is amazing. I use it once a week. My skin feels and looks so smooth and so youthful.I have combo skin with noticeable texture in the t zone. It has also made my foundation look ten times better.I have sensitive skin and have had chemical burns from products with “acid” ingredients in the past. I took a chance on this product, and while I did have a slight burning feeling after applied, it did not actually burn my skin or turn my skin red.

So, I've been doing facial peels for many years at home. Originally I would see my dermatologist about every other month and she would do them. Over time, I developed a long standing relationship with her, became a pharmaceutical rep and she gracefully and kindly "taught me the ropes" for performing the peels at home and at my own risk.With that being said, I've used glycolic peels, TCA peels, natural peels, you name it, I've tried it. This peel by ORDINARY is something all together different in terms of results, process of application, and time. I received my bottle within two days and it was packaged well. I read the directions and proceeded to wash my face with Cetaphil for sensitive skin. I rinsed my face several times using warm to hot water and then a cool water rinse. I patted dry and waited for about 5 minutes before applying the ORDINARY peel. You never want to use a peel when your skin is wet or damp.Once ready to apply, I used the dropper to suck some product up into the tube and then began lightly squeezing the dropper on my forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Oddly enough, it does not really drip off your face. I'd say it's a bit thicker than a serum, but obviously thinner than a lotion. Once I thought I had enough product on my face using the dropper, I then spread the product around using a light touch with my fingertips.After my face was covered completely (and kinda scary looking as it looks like blood), I then set the timer for 12 minutes. The directions say not to leave on the skin for longer than TEN minutes, but I know my skin and I know what it can handle and what it takes for a product such as this to work effectively. During the time the product was on my skin, somewhere around the 7 minute mark, I began to feel a slight tingling and burning sensation, somewhat like a sunburn, but definitely very tolerable. This means that the product is working and performing as it should. Yeah!After my time was up, I rinsed my face for a good 5 minutes using cool water and making sure to not leave any product residue behind. I then patted dry very lightly and examined my skin in a high powered mirror. I was able to see areas of my skin where I've had previous issues of acne and slight wrinkles really respond to the peel. Yeah, again! I'm happy about this because this does not always happen with other peels. Seeing a response to the product means the product is really WORKING.I waited about another 5 minutes after patting dry and applied a light moisturizer, Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum, which is sort of part serum, part light lotion and excellent for sensitive skin. About an hour later I again examined my skin and found it to be glowing, a bit pink, soft and even textured. I have JUST FOUND MY NEW BEST FRIEND.Not even considering price (which by the way is excellent), this will be my once a week go-to peel. It's not messy, it takes hardly any time to do and the results are fantastic. I'd recommend this to friends and others looking for an easy addition to their skin care routine, especially one that visible results are clear. At this time, I have no active acne breakouts, but I've had them on occasion in the recent past, perhaps a couple times a year I'll get one or two pimples. I think using this product regularly will prevent that from happening. I'm thrilled with my experience of the ORDINARY peel!

So I’ve had this for a few days. This product is so far good. I’ve only left it on for 5 mins most because you have to work your way up to 10 minutes. It does not actually peel you’re face like other products I have used, but with that being said it leaves you’re skin baby soft !! So great for nighttime !! Haven’t noticed any real results yet besides from the slightest lightening of redness on my face but I guess it takes time. ( It does burn like people say but it’s not crazy. Definitely worth a try. )

Use exactly as directed. I use twice a week 10 mins per session. I noticed new refreshed looking skin. Great price and not too aggressive of a product. If you’re using it like on TikTok you’re using it wrong. It’s not a vampire facial. A little goes a long way and gets the job done! I recommend based on my personalResults!

I don’t typically leave reviews but for this I will because after two uses I’ve noticed sun spots and scarring disappearing!! This is a product I will forever use now! Stings a little at first but goes away quickly and my skin had 0 side affects! It looks so much more clear! I wish I would have taken before and after pictures.

It's a good product. Do not recommend it to people with sensitive skin. It will burn like crazy.

I’ve heard so much about The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution and finally decided to give it a try — and wow, I’m so glad I did!I followed the instructions exactly as listed on the box (always a must, especially with exfoliating treatments), and I was pleasantly surprised. Despite having sensitive skin, I didn’t experience any burning or stinging — just a gentle tingle.One thing I really love is that it doesn’t have a strong smell — no overpowering perfumes or harsh chemical scents. Just simple, effective skincare.After using it, my skin feels incredibly soft and has that healthy, glowing look — like I just left a facial appointment. This peel is definitely going to be a staple in my skincare regimen!If you’re looking for a way to brighten your skin and smooth out texture, I highly recommend giving this one a try. A little goes a long way, and the results speak for themselves!
